In that 2007 game, the Mountaineers took a 34-32 lead on a Julian Rauch 24-yard field goal with 26 seconds left in the game. But a 46-yard pass from Chad Henne to Mario Manningham put the Wolverines in position to attempt a 37-yard field goal on the last play of the game.

But Appalachian State’s Corey Lynch blocked the kick, marking the second blocked kick in the final 97 seconds of the game by the Mountaineers.

The win was the first by an FCS team against a ranked FBS team. Michigan entered that game ranked No. 5 in the country.

“To have the University of Michigan invite us back is the ultimate compliment for us as a program and a University,” Appalachian State coach Jerry Moore said. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to have a new generation of players experience a gameday at the Big House and to test themselves against college football’s all-time winningest program.”
